23 Jul 2013 09:13
great summer fete at the pub on saturday 5 real ales, 2 real ciders, table top sale, hog roast, BBQ etc, really good day
23 Jul 2013 09:11
Thouroghly enjoy going here, great place, great food & ale, if I had more money I'd be here all the time!
18 Feb 2013 12:20
Just got used to walking down from Potterne to spend a nice sat afternoon in the pub and they've changed there damn opening hours!
18 Feb 2013 12:19
One day i'm going to go in there and it's going to be busy..... but then again maybe not. Nothing wrong with the place or the beer (apart from the price, didn't like £1.95 for a 1/2 of Old Timer), but it's always quiet.

Soulless with disinterested staff, a great advertisment for drinking at home

not sure the new landlord knows what he's doing..........
13 Jun 2012 12:26
Looking good under new ownership, has been tidied up, beer good although could do with beers from smaller breweries, currently Doom Bar, 6X & Ringwood Best. Food looks good from the temporary new menu. Staff friendly.

Diverse range of customers, great beers & ciders.
23 Apr 2012 13:51
Great real ales from the cask, 3 on when i was there saturday & great real ciders on handpump, good to see no TV's, could do with a clean up but still nice.
23 Apr 2012 13:41

27 Oct 2011 13:19

The Kings Arms, Bradford on Avon
Boddingtons Bitter Keg, �4.00 a pint..........................
27 Oct 2011 13:14
again just Yates & Ringwood, a very odd pub, part pub, part restaurant, part bierkeller, doesn't quite hang together, very quiet compared to the spyglass, staff don't seem to want to speak to you!
13 Aug 2011 10:14
Best and cheapest in the area, good selection of 6 real ales including 1 local brew.nice place.

22 Jul 2011 14:30
Very nice pub, good beer, the locals do all turn and look at you as you come in though....................
22 Jul 2011 14:28
horrible, disinterested staff & landlord, pub spelt of drains, beer not great.
22 Jul 2011 14:25

Really getting into the Broadoak Perry straight out of the barrel (�2.80/pint).
13 May 2011 14:32
bloody real ale ran out gain last night right in the middle of watching the premier league darts on sky!
13 May 2011 14:31
The Canal Tavern, Bradford on Avon
When i asked did they have any other real ales apart from 6X & IPA the member of staff said oh, we've got newcastle brown in bottles....................
13 May 2011 14:30
The Barge Inn, Bradford on Avon
nice real ale, friendly service, stowford apples and pears really nice as well
13 May 2011 14:28
need a mortgage to drink in here, other than that its quite good.
20 Apr 2011 14:40
I do like this down to earth sports bar/boozer but he keeps running out of real ale, and never has one in the cellar ready in time, its not rocket science.....
20 Apr 2011 14:37
The Kings Arms, Bradford on Avon
Shut for a while now reopened under temporary management, guess the mediterranian gastro pub idea didn't work then......... could have told them that when they opened! Now green king which spent loads with new gastro pub signage have to take it all down and start again, wish people would research the local area before coming up with these "good" ideas.
20 Apr 2011 14:36
Horrible redecoration, looks like a hotel lounge, beer nice but expensive, think theyv'e taken it too up market for the local drinkers...... wont be back
20 Apr 2011 14:33
Last time i went in there (a few months ago) had a pint of Wadworth Malt'n'Hops (ABV 4.5%) and got charged �3.50 not going back, when i can get a great pint at the three houseshoes for �2.70

The Three Horseshoes, Bradford on Avon
I still cannot see for the life of me why this pub is not in the 2011 Good Beer Guide, 3 real ales always good quality changed after each barrel, only �2.70 a pint, broadoak perry out of the barrel,friendly staff, nice atmosphere, better than some i've been in that are in the guide.
20 Apr 2011 14:29
Typical sizzling pub company pub cheap food mostly from the cargrill or microwave, real ale cheap and reasonable quality but never enough staff on, tables are sticky with glasses and plates left on them, only went in there as it was the only pub near me.
20 Apr 2011 14:26
nice place good beer barr staff could do with some training some weird customers, but then this is gloucester!
12 Apr 2011 12:23
very friendly landlord nice real ale, some of the customers are a bit odd though!

Nice atmosphere, reasonably priced very nice real ale.
6 Sep 2010 12:45
reopening again soon with the help of the ex-landlord from The Bell at Rode.
25 Aug 2010 14:30
Nice place, staff friendly & food nice, but why is their real ale always cloudy?
11 Aug 2010 12:48
The Kings Arms, Bradford on Avon
very nice, food reasonably priced, but drinks expensive.
4 Aug 2010 15:47

The Queens Arms, Corton Denham
4 scallops as a starter for �7.20, Sausages & mash �9.20, Whiting & chips �9.80, 2 pieces of lamb hacked off a rack of ribs with a soggy bubble & squeak �15.00, four very small pieces of cheese with some grapes and some strange looking crackers �6.50. What a joke, staff were friendly and one did admit it was overpriced! beer ok. Won't be going back.
16 Dec 2009 17:09
sadly closed down last month, another locals pub to be sold for redevelopment, RIP the jovials.

The Marston Inn, Marston Magna
Now under new (temporary) management....... could do with some windows replacing, good real ale though, landlord hoping to do food soon, haven't seen quoits in a pub for a while!
21 Aug 2009 15:09
friendly quiet pub, good pint of real ale, now on the market i notice!
15 Apr 2009 12:40
nice cheerful staff, beer good, looks better than when i last went in, heck of a lot better than the lamb & lion
7 Jul 2008 14:34
what a dump, uninterested staff, pub dirty, no draught cider or stella or real ale on my visit (staff didnt know what the difference between draught and bottled was!) wont be back
7 Jul 2008 14:32
good real ale & friendly service, a nice change from the many up market bars in the centre of town, could do with a bit of a clean up though.
30 Jun 2008 13:07
not too bad, a bit clicky and sometimes a long wait to be served even when quiet.
30 Jun 2008 13:05
my favouite pub in the area, nice beer, good food, friendly staff.
30 Jun 2008 13:04
Great location, food good if overpriced, real ale excellent, staff friendly in general, needs permenant managers not the recent merry-go-round
30 Jun 2008 13:03
wouldn't use the wi-fi in here, never get out alive with the laptop.
2 May 2008 15:14
how wetherspoons aren't embarressed to call this one of theirs i'm not sure, would be fine with more staff, staff who are actually interested in serving instead of talking amongst themselves, staff who can actually work out who is next to be served especially when its quiet, also needs more lighting, its like walking into the black hole of calcutta. Oh and one further problem, the customers............
2 May 2008 15:14
expensive, dirty, cold, staff uninterested, what more can i say, the problem is there are even WORSE pubs around here!
2 May 2008 15:10
nice friendly locals pub cracking pint of bass nice clean toilets, strange place for a pool table though.....
2 May 2008 15:08
nice clean interior, smashed up toilets, good real ale, although had to wait a longtime to be served as the scottish landlord was watching celtic v rangers on sky which seemed to come first.
2 May 2008 15:06
unbelievable mess, we walked in to extremely loud dance music (this was mid afternoon on a weekday), barmaid was putting music on the jukebox & dancing and completely ignored us, dirty dark place we walked out (she still hadn't noticed us). I'd rather go teetotal than bother again.
2 May 2008 15:02
cracking pint of bombadier last weekend freindly atmosphere good food
3 Jan 2008 00:09
went in last weekend, beer range a bit limitd due to selling out over xmas, was suggested to try the abbey ales bellringer which i did, tasted warm & stale so i left
3 Jan 2008 00:04
my favourite pub in the country, wirked here briefly & loved every minute (except maybe the folk music). simply the best
24 Aug 2007 16:25
good local boozer, say hello to tina for me if shes working!
24 Jul 2007 15:24
Unfortunately a great pub and great beer dont make for interested bar staff, be nice to see the landlord behind the bar now and again though.

The Foresters Arms, Combe Down
Another gastro pub god arent there enough around here (see my comments on the wheelwrights arms monkton combe) nuff said

The Wheelwrights Arms, Monkton Combe
Formerly a traditional village local, my family drank in there for generations, used to have open fire, well kept real ales, breweriana, good home cooked food, lots of local faces. NOW NONE OF THE ABOVE. bit-refit now a gastro pub, the type that when you sit at a table they ask "are you eating?" overpriced fancy food with a 10% service charge included on the bill, the (revamped) serving area now looks like the servery you would get in a restaurant, no seating or standing at the bar, if this is the future i give up.
19 Jul 2007 17:56
nice little boozer, shame about the irritating neighbours who keep trying to stop dawn making a go of it
25 Jun 2007 15:59
nightmare on king street! seems to cater for live music & yobs, real ale either non existant or tastes bad, staff not interested, they should be running a pub on a housing estate in birmingham, would be more suited.
25 Jun 2007 15:57
rubbish food - rather eat in mcdonalds, bar staff uninterested, wont be back.
25 Jun 2007 15:52
my idea of a traditonal local, clean, tidy, welcoming, nice reasonably priced beers.
25 Jun 2007 15:51
The Edinburgh House Of Sounds, Weymouth
Great pub, well updated(perhaps a bit too posh but it might grow on me) at least theres a lock on the gents toilet & a light too!! good cheddar valley & taunton trad cider, vinyl jukebox now on all day Rock on!
